Scholarly debate overwhelmingly concludes that Sartre’s political philosophy is a Marxist one. In Jean-Paul Sartre’s Anarchist Philosophy (Publisher : Bloomsbury Academic, 2018), William L. Remley intends to shed new light on the role of anarchism in Sartre’s writing, arguing that it fundamentally underpins the body of his political work. According to Remley, Sartre’s political philosophy has been neglected and it is only in understanding Sartre’s “anarchism” that one can fully appreciate the meaning of his political philosophy.
Le Monde libertaire, the organ of the French Anarchist Federation, had dealt with the question as soon as 1975, but had not adopted the same approach.
